Baby cries in sleep

All of the sudden my almost three month dd is crying in her sleep. For the past three nights its like she is waking up and she let's out a full blown cry and then fusses back to sleep. We thought she was hungry but nope. Not wet either. The only thing I can come up with is that she's getting tired of the swaddle even though she won't fall asleep without it. She's waking up ten times a night. Help!

My son has actually done this in my arms. Poor thing never even actually wakes up. And he only cries when hungry or tired. And this cry is like neither of those. It's more of a whimper and it's almost pathetic, but breaks my heart as well. It almost seems as if it's a bad dream. Sometimes he even laughs(not just smiles) in his sleep.

I'm getting that with my 9 week old too... Seems to only be days when he has gas pains during the day (only reason he cries properly)... I was thinking it was attached to memory of crying earlier, but much more likely to be pain while he's sleeping. Poor little soul.

i read this is normal. babies sometimes cry when they move from one sleep stage to the next. 90% of the time if a baby cries in her sleep or wakes up crying, she isnt done sleeping. it helps to "recreate the sleep environment" or some phrase like that. like if they fell asleep with their paci in their mouth, put it back in & they should be ok.
